How we didn't sign Gyorkes..and got Muapay instead....especially with Simms going the other way is mind boggling!

Very true, just didn’t have the money for that one at the time as it transpires. Would have been a hell of a signing, we did try I believe.

From what I remember, he was amenable to the move, but Cov wanted the money up front and that was game over for us.

Looks to be a tough run of the last 6 games, 18 points to play for, 9 teams still potentially in the running for basically 2 spots at the playoffs as Leeds & Sunderland have pretty much guaranteed their spots

I'd count West Brom out after today, we deserved a draw but got no one to put ball in net, we got Bristol City away Tuesday and then Coventry away

Gyokeres would be on about 6 goals for us now.

It's an Everton thing more than anything.

Coventry wanted more money for Gyokeres, plus Simms went the summer after Maupay joined (at which point Gyokeres was off to Sporting). If rumours at the time were true, Coventry also wanted a substantial amount upfront to prise Gyokeres away from them.
